Zarkala Producer Enterprise is a pioneering initiative that aims to empower rural women in the villages of Badaun, India. The ancient art of zardozi embroidery provides a platform for women to gain economic independence, enhance their livelihoods, and celebrate their cultural heritage. The company is being promoted in partnership with Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission (UPSRLM) and FDRVC as Technical Support Agency to implement the approved intervention plan for the PC.
At Zarkala, the training centre is not just a place for learning; it is a space where we come together, forging strong bonds and uplifting each other's spirits. Through our collective learning, we not only master the art of embroidery but also foster a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.
At Zarkala we thrive to achieve high quality. Together, we put forward products that reflect our aesthetics and cater to the need of the market.
